It seems only appropriate that a recipe demonstrating the gratuitousness (sometimes) of fresh herbs be followed by one demonstrating the greatness that can be achieved with dry herbs. Using dry rosemary really does not make you a bad person. Really. Though I think there are some herbs for which the freshness factor really is key (basil, for one), sometimes, I've decided, using a dry herb doesn't compromise all that much.As I've said before, so often the joy of cooking is taking whatever you've got and making something tasty out of it. Quick rummaging through the fridge yesterday found me half a sack of red potatoes, garlic, and some butter. And conveniently, the apartment my boyfriend is subletting this summer came outfitted with a very comprehensive collection of dry spices and herbs. So what did I make? Red potatoes with garlic, butter, and dry thyme, naturally.

Hey,
Last night ruled. Fucking hilarious. I'm leaving you a recipe for black bean salad (really good with grilled fish and tostitos) and hopefully we can have a sleepover again soon :) I made it to work at 9:37, not bad since I went back to sleep until 9:05 AND showered at your place!
Amazing Black Bean Salad (will cause bad breath!)
Ingredients:
1 can of black beans (rinsed)
1 can of corn (rinsed)
3 LARGE bell peppers (I usually do one each of green, red, yellow, but any combo will do)
1 red onion
1 clove of garlic
1/8 cup oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice (which is about one big lime)
Fresh cilantro to taste (I use 1-2 tbsp)
Directions:
1. Chop up the peppers and onion into small pieces and toss together.
2. Add corn.
3. Chop up the garlic; add.
4. Chop the cilantro; add.
5. Add oil, lime juice, and vinegar. Toss a lot.
5. Add the black beans. Toss again.
6. Salt and pepper to taste.
